If I take a step back I'm pretty sure Yeezus is truly his best album
Still put on LR the most tho
Pablo is pretty clearly the worst

Folks just listened to the old ULB and can't adjust. All he did was add 4 words where there was previously an awkward empty space.

You're right, but I listened to it so much that I'm used to it and now it's jarring to hear something different to what I'm used to.
No one ever thought it was awkward. It's way more awkward now because it fucks up the flow to the next lines as the pause is still there but it's like half a pause now. Even the lyrics flow better in the old one, that line is so out of place.

Nah. It was an awkward space. That's why Chance just repeated, chopped up and stylized the "they don't know" line like that in the fisrt place to bridge the parts but there was still weird space there. People just got used to how it was before. Had the 2.0 version been the first, no one would think it odd at all because they would have memorized it the way they memorized the timing of the space on the 1.0 version.

Honestly I consider his first two albums to be the worst. Quite a few throwaway tracks, along with the skits. Yeezus is great except for Guilt Trip, and Pablo is great except for Freestyle 4, and Pt 1 & 2 being separated.
I know this isn't ye and its also super late, but holy shit Danny Brown on Schoolboy Q's snapchat the other day was fuckin hilarrrrious.

The Yeezus poll has I'm in it and Guilt Trip too high for me, but at least they got the worst and best songs right or close enough
.
It's silly comparing these 2-3 year old songs with newer ones though, the songs people have been listening too for years and have grown to love are obviously going to be higher. Like I don't think Send it Up would be higher than Highlights or Waves if it was Yeezus that had just released and Pablo that came out 2-3 years ago.
Cool idea from KTT anyway, looking forward to seeing what the full list is like.
On Sight is the true GOAT

Free TC getting more play right now

yeah, that's got me laughing and disregarding this list. Bound 2 is meme fodder, nothing more.
I've been playing Rodeo and Always Strive And Prosper on repeat. TLOP gets an occasional play, mainly ULB and FSMH1+2.

it's dull, not at all clever, the sample is crap. etc etc
It's really really bad blame. So many better soul sample Kanye songs.

Bound 2 is worth it if only for Charlie Wilson's part

Sure, but in the context of Yeezus's aesthete, it works so well.
Bound 2 is one of the better songs on the record.
It goes On Sight > Blood on the Leaves > Black Skinhead = Hold My Liquor > Bound 2 = New Slaves > Send It Up > Guilt Trip = I Am A God >>> I'm In It.

I still remembering listening to On Sight for the first time and thinking something was wrong with my phone lol.

Opinions, what are they?
Hell, if you post your ranking, I'm sure I'd be saying the exact same thing.
That's why I don't post them lol
I actually got around to listening to TLOP.
I liked Feedback, FSMH part 2, Fade, Real Friends, and my favorite track 30 Hours.
Ultralight Beam did nothing for me. Waves was probably Chris Browns worst song. FML was totally skippable as well. No trolling, just facts. Speaking of which, I liked the original soundcloud version of Facts better than the Charlie Heat version (yeunnnn)

Fuck that, I bought that shit physical and popped the cd in as I drove out the parking lot of my local big box and as soon as that SYNTH came on I knew this shit would be right up my alley I had every orifice in my car open (uh I mean window) by the time YEEZY SEASON APPROACHING began blaring.

I don't like New Slaves as much as I do the songs above it. The first 4 songs are 10/10 with minor variances in "like", and Bound 2 is like a 9/10.

Is Kanye now treating albums a bit like fashion "seasons"? Instead of just releasing an album, you get the show to showcase it, and then it's released incrementally over the next few months?
I haven't been following.

That 5 song stretch from On Sight to Hold My Liquor is some next level shit.
Same. I really like the beat on it, even if the verses are weak.
Yeah, definitely. The album really falls down in the second half for me though, Blood on the Leaves is the only great song there.

The Bound 2 music video version is much better, and I say that because there is an extra chorus in there. That song is just a very interesting way to end the album and I was really disappointed when I first heard it. It's now not bad at all and I like it a lot, still guilt trip with the binary parts just makes me not like it.

Both are hip hop albums, check the production credits of lemonade, it's a who's who of hip hop
that... doesn't make it hip hop
